Avene Cicalfate Cream & Avene Cold Cream

With the temperatures slowly but surely going down, my intention is to get myself some products I believe I’ll need in the following months of high humidity and lower temperatures. While going through my personal stash of last year’s autumn/winter products I came across these two creams. Avene Cicalfate Cream and Avene Cold Cream.These are my seconds tubes in a row. I used the first batch last winter and bought these two. They are miracle workers and true staples in my beauty bag. Colder months are their time to shine but it’s not unusual to use them occasionally during summer if I need to. Avene Cicalfate Cream is a healing cream that works best on injured skin by maintaining an optimal healing environment during the skin recovery process. Provides a healthy skin environment to minimize a potential infection. Prevents signs of scarring. Fragrance-free, preservative-free, colorant-free. Contains Avène Thermal Spring Water to soothe and soften the skin. Hypoallergenic and non-comedogenic. It can be used for; Cuts, scrapes, scratches, burns, cracked skin, stitches, hair removal, diaper rash, post-treatment.

You use it by applying twice daily to problem area after cleansing with a mild cleanser or Avène Thermal Spring Water. It has helped me with popped zits, red skin around the zit, flaky nose and an upcoming breakout. It is a thick white cream and very rich consistency which can make your already oily skin even oilier so do use it at night. It comes in a 40ml tube and the scent is nothing spectacular, pharmacy kind of smell. Avene Cold Cream is one of my most cherished creams. Over the years my skin has gone from completely normal and resiliant to dry and sensitive. Even in summer I get some dryness on my elbows, feet, hands and around the nose. Not to mention my problem with chapped lips. They are always dry and I haven’t found a lip balm which can solve that. But Cold Cream can. It’s an amazing product for dry and sensitive skin. Its ultra rich and creamy formula offers intense hydration and seals in moisture. Protects the skin from drying effects of skin disorders, environmental aggressions or dermatological treatments. Helps nourish the skin and restore the skin’s natural protective barrier. Contains Avène Thermal spring water to soothe and soften the skin. Hypoallergenic and non-comedogenic. It can be used for; very dry and cracked skin, small dry patches (eczema), xerosis, ichtyosis, atopic skin, irritation from environmental aggressions. I always reach out to Cold Cream to soothe and calm down. It’s not a remedy or anything but it keeps the reddness, flaking and itching to a minimum making it bearable. It’s my friend until it’s all gone. Besides that, I use it on my poor chapped lips, around my nose and on my hands when they’re really, really dry. Elbows and cracked heels as well. It’s a multitasker and it has a much prettier smell (similar to baby products) than Cicalfate Cream and I do enjoy it’s foamy consistence.It is moisturizing and it is rich but not too heavy. Available also as 40ml tube.

If you have some concerns that you believe either of the stated Avene creams can help with, I can only encourage you to try them because they are intended even for people with sensitive skin.
